I don’t think the Government is after me, I don’t think DARPA is behind a cloud only covering me, when I can clearly see the sunshine less than a mile away in my direction… I just think I’m dramatic, sexually, spiritually frustrated, and I caused others too believe in my drama. For this I’m sorry. I’m just gonna go back to failing at selling art, maybe try to lighten up a bit, and hopefully find my wallet.

If you are reading this, then you — or people you know — have probably been affected by the2017 Equifax data breachthat exposed personal data of 147 million people tohackers. (To check if you were part of the breach — and therefore eligible to file claims to recover losses and expenses — go to the officialdata breach settlement website, where you’ll enter your last name and last six digits of your social security number in the online form.) And if you were part of the breach, you probably know you can submit a claim as part of the class-action settlement betweenEquifaxand the Federal Trade Commission to be compensated for expenses and time spent recovering from the breach.

The settlement lets you submit claims for multiple benefits, so filing for one doesn’t preclude you from receiving others. And you have until Jan. 22, 2020, to file.
